“I am Holden On” is a deeply moving film due to its insight into high school football culture, drug use and even recovery centers, but the film holds a special significance for LaGrange, where the movie was filmed...

"Holden On" makes elite list of select films at the Woodstock Film Festival

"It [Holden On] dives deeply into its Georgia milieu, dealing unblinkingly with everything from high school football culture to drive-around drug use and Christian-based recovery centers while playing the humanity of its characters and their motives against the deep tragedy of its basic story, always being sure to lighten a sense of doom with the levity and humor of day-to-day life. By skirting our preconceptions about recovery clichés, and how we judge normality and aberrance, Hall’s work deepens its effect into a bracing freshness. The filmmaker will be present when this should-be classic plays."

"Area mental health professionals noted how well the film [Holden On], as well as Fahey's depiction, humanized mental illness, in addition to the realities of current deficiencies in the health care system. In turn, it requires a communitywide approach to helping individuals and families overcome these medical obstacles."
